Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) Chairman Kamal Thapa on Friday urged Prime Minister Balendra Shah to change Nepal’s federal system, describing it as a failure, during an interaction programme organised by RPP Dhanusha in Janakpurdham. Thapa made the appeal at the event in Janakpur, addressing his call for change to the prime minister, who is also known as Balen.
Thapa’s appeal to the prime minister
Thapa’s central message was that the country’s existing federal system of governance should be changed. He characterised the system as a failure and directly appealed to Shah to act on that assessment. The remarks were made at an interaction programme hosted by the RPP’s Dhanusha organisation.
The reported appeal places the question of federal governance at the centre of Thapa’s message to the prime minister. However, the available account does not provide further details about what changes Thapa proposed, what system he would prefer in its place, or what steps he asked the government to take. His stated position was that the current arrangement had failed and should be changed.
Remarks made at an RPP Dhanusha event
The programme was held in Janakpur, in Janakpurdham, and was organised by RPP Dhanusha. Thapa made his comments while speaking at the interaction event. The account identifies the gathering and the appeal but does not specify who else attended, what other issues were discussed, or whether Shah or government representatives responded.
Thapa addressed the request to Prime Minister Balendra Shah rather than presenting it only as a general criticism of the governance structure. The report does not state whether the prime minister was present at the programme. It also does not say whether the appeal was followed by a formal proposal, party decision, or government response.
Federal system at the centre of the statement
The remarks bring Thapa’s criticism of federal governance into focus, but the reported statement is limited to his judgement that the system has failed and his request that Shah change it. No supporting arguments or examples were detailed in the available account. The report likewise does not outline a timeline or describe how any change might be carried out.
Thapa’s appeal was made in Janakpur on Friday at a programme organised by his party’s Dhanusha body. Beyond that setting and the call to change the federal system, the available information offers no further details about the discussion. The key point of the event’s reported message is his direct challenge to the prime minister to reconsider the country’s governance system.
